PSALM 13

How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?

How long will you hide your face from me?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul,

having sorrow in my heart daily?

How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

         

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God;

enlighten my eyes,

lest I sleep the sleep of death;

lest my enemy say,

“I have prevailed against him”;

lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

         

But I have trusted in your mercy;

my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

I will sing to the LORD,

because he has dealt bountifully with me.
